Difference between envy and jealousy?

Many people use them interchangeably these days (and it is accepted by most people), but there is actually a difference.
ENVY = wanting what someone else has: "Whenever people see the celebrity's car, they feel envy."
JEALOUSY = fear of losing what you have to someone else: "When he saw his girlfriend talking to the celebrity, he felt jealousy coming over him."
Here's an old Tumblr post we did on this topic: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLyMl5rlO ^^

What's the difference between "get to and "have to"?

YusepArdiansyah’s Profile PhotoBurning Sky
"Have to" is a requirement or an obligation, i.e., not doing it is not an option. It's like "must."
- I have to finish my essay by tomorrow morning.
- We have to go to Grandma's house on her birthday.
"Get to" is like "allowed to":
- We get to go home early today!
- At my dad's work, people get to play around with toys all day.
- I wonder if my aunt, who works for YG Entertainment, gets to hang out with G-DRAGON when he's at the office.

What is the meaning of "burning bridges" ? Thanks in advance, I adore this account

"Burning bridges" is an idiom for "destroying a relationship permanently." For example, if you quit your job and never want to go back there ever again, you might write a nasty blog post that explains why you hate everyone at that company. Once you post it and your former co-workers read it, you won't be able to work there again. You have "burned bridges" with that company and with your former co-workers. The idiom makes sense because if you burn a bridge, there's no going back.
It is generally wise to not burn bridges with people, school, work, etc., because you never know if you might have to go back to them in the future.

what is spoiled means like in "this guy is so spoiled"

Someone who is "spoiled" has always gotten things his way. For example, a spoiled kid is someone whose parents give him everything he wants: the nicest phone, the nicest car, the best clothes, etc., etc. Spoiled people are often arrogant, ungrateful, and immature, because their parents (or someone else) have always taken care of their problems for them.

'why do you choose to left us?' is that true?

"Why do you choose to LEAVE us?" is right. After DO, DON'T, DID, DIDN'T, DOES, and DOESN'T, use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb. ^^

what is the different between 'i should've eat' or 'i should eat'

"I should've eat" is wrong. It should be "I should've EATEN" (I should have eaten).
You would say "I should've eaten" if you're feeling hungry because you didn't eat when you had the chance, e.g., I should've eaten before I left home.
You would say "I should eat" if you're hungry and you have the option to eat in the near future, e.g., I'm really hungry, so I should eat before we go on our trip. You would also say "I should eat" if you need to eat more, eat certain types of food, etc.: I should eat more meat; I should eat more vegetables.

Captain Jack: [about The TARDIS] "Much bigger on the inside". The Doctor: "You'd better be". What The Doctor means by that?

That's from the episode when the Doctor and Rose are dancing ("The Doctor Dances").
The next line explains what the Doctor meant to say:
Captain Jack: [about The TARDIS] Much bigger on the inside.
The Doctor: You'd better be.
Rose: I think what the Doctor's trying to say is - you may cut in.

'it makes my day'. 'the convos really made my day'. I'm questioning what is the definition of 'make' in here? why dont say 'it makes my day -better-instead? thanks.

"Makes my day" is an idiom that means "Makes me really happy," e.g., It makes my day whenever I get an email from you.
"It makes my day better" = It improves my day, e.g., When I'm feeling sad, it makes my day better when I drink a cup of coffee.

In "my foot hurts", does the foot hurt someone or is it in pain? I'm sorry I can't explain it properly, but I hope you understand. :D

It means the same thing as "My foot is in pain." (If you want to say that your foot can hurt someone, you should say it differently to avoid confusion or misunderstanding, e.g., My foot is capable of hurting others.)

the only thing that I can hold onto "were" or "was" prayers?

"Prayers" is plural, so it should be "were." (The sentence should be "The only THINGS that I COULD hold ON TO were prayers" or "The only THINGS that I CAN hold ON TO ARE prayers.")
- "Prayers" is plural, so it should be "things" (not "thing").
- The verb tense should be consistent: could, were (past); can, are (present).

what the meaning of "i just had to"?

It basically means "I couldn't resist doing (something)":
- When I saw a box of doughnuts on the table, I just had to eat one.
- When the store offered a brand new PlayStation 4 for $250, I just had to buy two of them.
- Your essays were so good that I just had to tell you how much I admired your writing.

how to properly use TL;DR?

TL;DR = too long; didn't read.
After a really long explanation of something, we put "TL;DR" and a very short summary of the whole thing. If people don't want to read the whole thing, they could read the TL;DR version and basically get the main idea.
(Look at the attached pic for an example.)

whats the difference between 'mentally' and 'physically'. i am very confused

"Mentally" deals with your mind. "Physically" deals with your body.
- Nan is physically fine but mentally tired from spending eight hours listening to presentations.
- Henry was physically and mentally drained after writing five 500-word essays by hand during the six-hour exam.

i want have silence to read poetry aloud ← is that right? help me :3

"I want to have silence so I can read poetry aloud" would work. ^^

after havent, hasnt, hadnt, we should use root word or past participle?

The past participle:
- I haven't FINISHED my essay yet.
- Until last summer, they hadn't BEEN to Paris.
- She has no energy because she hasn't EATEN anything all day.

when do I use did and does? thanks ❌

DOES → present tense for he, she, it, and singular nouns:
- She DOES her homework after dinner.
- He DOES the dishes every day.
- Does Peter really like "Naruto" more than "One Piece"?
DID → past tense of "do" for every noun/pronoun:
- We DID our best, but we still lost.
- DID she finish her assignment?
- Henry DID all the work on our group project.

I saw this on your twitter “Taking naps sounds so childish. I prefer to call them horizontal life pauses.” isn't it supposed to be "Taking naps SOUND so childish" ? please correct me if I'm wrong

No. Here's why: the subject of the sentence isn't "naps." It's actually "taking" (a gerund). Since "taking" is a singular noun, it requires "sounds."
Here's another example: Smoking cigarettes IS bad for your health. (The subject is "smoking," not "cigarettes.")

They're the same exact word. In American English, it's "dreamed"; in British English, it's "dreamt."
